Obama’s statement should come as no surprise to anyone. He has always said that families are off limits. Remember the way the Media dogged Michelle?

It would not have been hypocritical had Sarah Palin not marketed herself as a “family values”, Bible-toting and Jesus-loving Republican. She’s just made a complete fool of herself, with a horny daughter who couldn’t keep her pants zipped and now you except nobody to respond to this gross indecency?

The way that the Palin family treated the pregnancy is outrageous. It’s as if having a high schooler have babies is all of a sudden “normal.” C’mon! Let’s not make mini-Junos throughout America. This is normalizing teenage pregnancy, which should not at all be acceptable in American society.

Ted–
The reason our country is self-sustaining in population is because of immigrants, not because of presumably unwanted teenage pregnancies. Even the Census Bureau predicts that Whites will no longer form the majority in the U.S. by 2042, because minorities are beating Whites to it when it comes to children.

Is he kidding??? I know everyone loves Obama but really, who does he think he is??? This dirty politics and it has been played this way forever. If it’s too hot in the kitchen Obama, GET OUT. Does he think he is GOD and whatever he says goes? I am a 100% Democrat and am voting that way but he is a little full of himself if he thinks what he says is law. I love the dirty laundry airing part of politics. I wonder if he has some skeletons in the closet and maybe they might just get out.

Good analysis of the story. This is now, one of two things I respect/admire Obama for.
The other one is irrelevant to this issue, and on balance, two items are far short of winning my vote.

My point being, it is incorrect to demonize an opponent or deify ones political choice; it is more than incorrect, it is a form of mental delusion that we see during each election cycle.

Both have positives and both have negatives, judged by each of us according to our views, an educated voter will then choose the one with more positives on highly valued issues, not the one who demonstrates perfection (which indicates delusion.)

This is a plus. As Mark Steyn points out in his recent best seller, America Alone, if our western civilization is demographically to survive in the increasingly “hostile to the west” islamic world — and not end up like the sinking European populations — these are the precise people (the Bristol Palins’) we should thank for increasing their progeny.

Excuse me, but would you explain how abstinence advocates are hyopocrites because someone who didn’t practice abstinence became pregnant?

Or is it a case that you believe that the only non-hypocritical response to a pregnancy in such a situation is a Muslim-style honor killing?

Yeah right, thank God Obama is kind enough not to point out the hypocrisy of social conservatives who champion abstinence education, which apparently failed in the case of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy.

If Obama had a 17-yr-old pregnant daughter, the GOP surrogates would have harassed her nonstop.

Especially since Obama’s own mother didn’t marry his father (as his second, bigamous, wife — which she didn’t know) until she was three months pregnant.
